Hi everyone!
My name's Kelly, I live north of Pittsburgh, PA. I inherited my dad's 1954 ford pickup, and I'd like to fullfill his dream of restoring it someday. I'm hoping to get some good ideas and advice from here; I've never restored something completely before. It's going to take a lot of time and work, but I'm looking foreward to it.

Sweet! Get that Chevy JUNK out of an old ford. It doesn't belong, period. Glad to hear you're wanting to put a 300-6 in there, good choice!

Welcome, You will get a lot of good ideas here! Great People! One thing that will help us visualize what you have would be pictures. When you get a chance set up a gallery so we can all see her. Listen-Just a word of advice-The truck will be sitting in your garage so make sure that you do what you want to it-If you want a chevy in it, cool-If you want a ford in it, Even Better-Just make sure that its what you want and like. That is the beauty of this lifestyle.

You're in the Correct Place as this is the '48-'60 Forum & I believe '54 is in there Somewhere.

Ceetwarrior stated something about you wanting to install a 300 Inliner, Excellent!
Go to my Gallery & look @ the 1 Installed in my '58 M-100, you just might get some ideas on how you will be able to Install yours, if thats the case.
